FC Porto look to add the cup to the Second Division title v Benfica | OneFootball

A match that always generates great anticipation, pitting two of the biggest rivals in Portuguese football against each other, but which, in the women’s game, sees them reach this final at very different stages: Benfica dominant in the Primeira Liga and FC Porto on the rise toward the top flight.

Since winning promotion in 2018/19, the season in which they were crowned champions of the second tier, Benfica have won the Primeira Liga on six occasions (2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26), with the 2019/20 season not counted — their first competing in the top division — when they were leading the table before the competition was first suspended and later cancelled due to the covid-19 pandemic.

As for FC Porto, who won the Second Division this season after beginning the women’s team’s journey in 2024/25, also with the title in the third tier, there is the ambition of achieving a rare domestic double.

The team, which faced Benfica B twice in the Second Division (0-0 and 1-1), could also join the ‘Eagles’ as the only team from a secondary tier to win the Portuguese Cup, a feat achieved in 2018/19.

The final will be played on Sunday at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras, with kick-off scheduled for 17:15.
